Bad news: if you own an iPhone 4, be careful -- bypassing your lock screen is simply a matter of hitting "emergency call," dialling "###," presssing the call button, then immediately pressing the lock button. Voilá -- one cracked iPhone. After the break, there's a video of some Spanish Portuguese-speaking guy showing you how to carry out the exploit.

Estate Sale in Oakland PlaceThere was this little red diary. Sadly it was only 2 pages or I would have bought it. I love other people's diaries.
There were some nice yearbook photos with stories on them. The grey cardboard portrait books folded open and one the left side was a letter to the person they gave the card to and on the right was the portrait. Kind of like a greeting card with a picture of yourself that you could give out to your friends.
I offered the saleswoman $10 for 10 of them. She told me, "Those people went to Dartmouth. The pictures are worth at least $10 each." I said, "ok forget it then," while thinking, "does she really believe everything Dartmouth related is worth something?" As I was leaving she tried $40 for all 10. I left.
I should have just taken pictures of the letters looking back on it. She thought I wanted them to resell but I just wanted the stories and would have probably thrown them out post digitalization.

There is someone in Dartmouth though (incidentally with the initials CSW) whose research completely fascinates. I literally wait with bated breath for each new publication from his group. :::link:::

Hahahah... those two made me laugh.
I bet the dartmouth-obsessed woman didn't get even $1 for each in the end. Just because there are no other spotting-and-loving-the-ridiculous-pauls around. ;-)

Episcopal DioceseSeems like they aren't doing so well. The bischop and diocese office is for sale on Deleware. Wonder what that means for the church next door?
